Speaker 1: The congregation of the Malord Militia has reunited. Here reunited

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: and a lot going on, a lot of moving parts here.

36
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Now a story that is a developing story. We're gonna

37
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: start with this. The Mile High City. There's a lot

38
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: of things moving around. The pinball machine there and pro

39
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: bouncy ball, the silly season. As yet again, we are

40
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: on the pulse of what many of you find repulsive gossip,

41
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: speculation and rumor mongering. That's right, but interesting. Wrinkle out

42
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: of Denver. We have a mantra on this show. We

43
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: have many mantras, but one of the mantras is we

44
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: just we wake up. We don't know what's going on,

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: and then you know, we don't even know what's going

46
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: on when we go to bed, but we wake up

47
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like, whatever's interesting, whatever the news of the

48
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: day is, and we just talk about And so I

49
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: thought this was interesting, and I have editorial control, So

50
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm talking about now. Someday I'll give that

51
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: up and supermarket Steve will have editorial control. We'll talk

52
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: WNBA and then they'll turn the transmitter off and that's it.

53
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: But if you didn't hear, maybe not so multi time

54
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: Platinum ENVP guy, the whole thing. Nicola j okicch we

55
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: learned will not will not sign a extension with the

56
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: Nuggets this offseason. Not gonna happen. There was a standing

57
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: offer there by the Denver basketball team.

58
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: He is not going to do it.

59
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: Now, the Nugget media is, well, it's not really that

60
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: big a deal because he can make more money in

61
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: a couple of years.

62
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 4: Or actually just in a year. So just like wait,

63
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: and he is under contract.

64
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: So let us discuss though, because there were other factions,

65
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: other factions, enemy combatants who say, not so fast, my friend,

66
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: So let's discuss the question. Nicole Jokic, we are told,

67
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: has let the Nuggets know that he does not plan

68
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: to sign a contract extension this offseason. So what does

69
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: that signify? To get cut through the fog? What does

70
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: that signify signify to you? So I've got gatorade, Early

71
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: Bird and kneepads, and we will combine all of these

72
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: things together and we are gonna make the Gabba ghoul.

73
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 4: We're gonna make the gobbagool. So he what does it signify?

74
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: All right?

75
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: This is not that deep. It's sports direct from Europe.

76
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: All away from Europe. Ladies and gentlemen, step right up

77
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: under the big top.

78
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: That's right under the big top.

79
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: The greatest show in the basketball off season is underway.

80
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: Get a glimpse. Get a glimpse. It's not for the

81
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: faint of art, but get a glimpse of the Serbian sledgehammer,

82
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: the drama. Oh my god. Now Jokic telling the Nuggets

83
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: to go pound sand that he's not going to sign

84
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: a two hundred and twelve million dollar contract extension this offseason.

85
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: Now that has opened the floodgates.

86
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: Whether you like it or not, it's opened the floodgates

87
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: from Walla Walla, Washington to kalamazoo. Okay, every team that

88
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: plausibly plays basketball and occasionally wants to win, and they

89
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: have dreams of championships, and the whispering is underway. Could

90
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: we get the joker in the deck? Could we get

91
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: the joker in the deck?

92
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: Now?

93
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 4: The party poopers, you know who they are.

94
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: Oh, they say, listen, Nicole Yoki, he's just waiting. He's

95
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 1: just he's gonna get an extra eighty million dollars more

96
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: if he just waits a year. And really, what is

97
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: a year?

98
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 4: Time flies? The older you get just goes by fast.

99
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: So while that is certainly possible, that is certainly possible.

100
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't dismiss that. I don't dismiss that. But he

101
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: is also ridiculous to dismiss the possibility that this is

102
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: the beginning of the end for Nikola Jokic in Denver.

103
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: Remember the owner came out said there is a scenario

104
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: where Jokic isn't going to stay in Denver.

105
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 4: He tossed that out unsolicited.

106
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: By the way, And now just a few days later,

107
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: Jokic says, I ain't signing that extension.

108
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 4: Okay.

109
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: So in the multiverse, you put everything together. In the multiverse,

110
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: it's possible that this is a foreshock. What Nicola Jokic

111
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 1: did is a foreshock to a larger seismic event. Plot

112
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: thickens now regardless, the power Brokers, if you want to

113
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: call them that, and my favorite, the gossip hounds. They're

114
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: like bloodhounds of gossip and they're all salivating, Oh my god,

115
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: like Pavlov's dogs the sound of the dinner bell man.

116
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: Are they excited?

117
00:06:59,240 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 5: Now?

118
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Jokic, he's not going anywhere today unless he wants that.

119
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: But remember anything as possible at anytime, like the NBA could

120
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: call the Nuggets up and say, hey, we want Jokic

121
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: to play for a real team like the Clippers, and

122
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: we say we believe the conspiracy.

123
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 4: That's how Luca ended up with the Lakers.

124
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: It's not because of some slick GM work by Skinny

125
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: Jeans Rob Polinka. It's like, well, the NBA TV ratings

126
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: were down, let's get Luca in La.

127
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: We'll get the ratings up. Why not?

128
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: But technically Jokich has not one but two years left

129
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: on the deal from what we understand it based on

130
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: a minute long investigation, also has a player option forget

131
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: about that that will not be activated. And the Nuggets. Publicly,

132
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: he's the franchise, he's the cornerstone. Certainly is all those things.

133
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: Certainly is all those things. And Denver, seemingly to pacify

134
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: Jokicic went out and made some moves. They traded Michael

135
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: Porter Junior for someone named Cam Johnson. We're not sure

136
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: who that is. And they added you Val Valentunis, who

137
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: was so excited about that. He's thinking about leaving and

138
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: not even playing for the Nuggets. But the effort was

139
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: made to bolster the depth on the Denver Nuggets, and

140
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Yokich himself had asked for more depth, so they went

141
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: out and made some moves to get more depth. Now,

142
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: regardless of the math, I'm even talking about Mallard math,

143
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking about contractual math. I'm not talking about the

144
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: Malad math, which is different. It's a version of math,

145
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: but it's not the actual math. It's the malor math.

146
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: It's different. So Yo Kitch in my head, that little

147
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: cartoon bubble over my head. Yo Kich is filming a

148
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: Gatorade commercial for the Denver Nuggets. Make them sweat, all right,

149
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: He's making them sweat a little bit. Yeah, Sure, there's

150
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: a world where he gets that extra eighty million dollars

151
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: and we're all good. We are all good.

152
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 4: Right.

153
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: It is a savvy move for a guy. He's not

154
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: chasing a championship, but guy's his little hunk of metal.

155
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: Finals MVP three, regular season MVPs. The Nugget Backers, though,

156
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: the real Nugget back they're they're biting their fingernails a

157
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,400

Speaker 4: We don't know. But the whispers are only gonna get

165
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 4: louder louder and louder.

Speaker 1: And the vultures, those NBA vultures, Yes, the hyenas.

00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: They're out and they're gonna.

00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: some pints of beer watching a horse race somewhere in

Speaker 1: someplace far far away. Yah, just the centem a text,

Speaker 1: to Milwaukee in the winter, beautiful weather. Yes, So the

175
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: circus is just getting started with what I'm trying to

176
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: say right now, Turn the page, page two. So to

177
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: the Bay Area, the aforementioned Bay Area, we go wild

178
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: ending in the baseball game.

179
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 5: There.

180
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: We're not talking about that right now. I'll get to

181
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: that later. But some late night musings, some late night musings,

182
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: and we're hearing now the Golden State Warriors, the Golden

183
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: State wars who would have been the San Francisco Warriors,

184
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: but they kept winning championships, so they decided not to

185
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: change the name. They were gonna change the name to

186
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: San Francisco Warriors, which it had been, but they was

187
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: we kept winning, so we're gonna go back, you know,

188
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: keep the name Golden State Warriors. Anyway, the Golden State Warriors,

189
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: we are told have a handshake deal. I'm shaking your head,

190
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: a handshake deal with Al Horford, late of the Boston Celtics.

191
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Al Horford, late night news, Al Horford handshake deal. He

192
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: will join the roster of the Golden State Warriors. So

193
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? How do you feel

194
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: about this particular move? Al Horford with the Warriors. So

195
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: I have this on my note app, the notes app

196
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: on my front eye. Put the word sketchy. That's what

197
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: I put. Because which version of Al Horford are the

198
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: Warriors going to come on down? Which version of Al

199
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: are you getting? Is he going to be locked in?

200
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: Is he going to be what he had been quite

201
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: a bit in Boston? His nickname average, Al was his nickname,

202
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: He's the average And Horford, as of twenty four hours ago,

203
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: was said to be debating whether or not he wanted

204
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: to go out to the West Coast, to go to

205
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: San Francisco or to a nice retirement a time share

206
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: in Boca with tea time at three o'clock of the afternoon.

207
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: So let's not sugarcoat this. There's no need to sugarcoat

208
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: the Al Horford story. Horford has certainly been more of

209
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: the early bird special version of basketball player than the

210
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: stretch five specialists. The difference maker is not that guy.

211
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: Hadn't been that guy for the better part of a

212
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: couple of seasons now and in Boston, and and sure

213
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: he's had occasional moments returned to glory. He's hit some

214
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: corner threes, and I'm sure he'll do a little bit

215
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: of that with the Golden State Warris and occasionally some

216
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: defensive plays will make a play here and there, and

217
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: and fine, but he's been around since like the flip phone.

218
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: You know, he's been in the NBA since the flip

219
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: phone was still still a popular thing. And so, but

220
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: don't confuse a few random playoff performances that looked okay

221
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: on the boob tube. Don't confuse that with some kind

222
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: of renaissance career renaissance. I do not believe this is

223
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: a Benjamin and not be like not me but Benjamin

224
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: Button type situation. Uh, the the mileage has piled up

225
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: there in the NBA. Again, Horfe is not a bad player.

226
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: He is never a great player. Yeah, you're not that guy, Pal,

227
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: You're not that guy. He's just he's just kind of

228
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 1: air and it does a little bit of this, a

229
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: little bit of that, but not a lot of anything.

230
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: And there's eighteen minutes a game and a couple of

231
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: screens here broadcasters slobbering all over him. Sure, you know

232
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: I can get a good back in the day story.

233
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: Remember Al Horford back in the day with the Atlanta

234
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: Hawks when they had no good players.

235
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 4: But somehow I had all these all stars made no sense.

Speaker 7: You better start with that. You're not gonna talk about

276
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 7: you're gonna hud from I'm not. First of all, I

277
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 7: don't work for the team. They don't even want me

278
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 7: the games anymore. I'm not a spokesman for the Dodgers.

279
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 7: I'm not so but I will start with that.

280
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: That's the story you seem to want based on the

281
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: customer feedback that we're getting here as we just begin

282
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: the red eye flight. So we'll start out in the

283
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: cream City hardball heaven right now. Oh man, they are

284
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: flying high. The beard tastes better than ever. The sky

285
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: is falling in La Laland the sky is falling. The

286
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: top record in baseball six games ago and not anymore

287
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: so if you have not been paying attention. Perhaps not because,

288
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: as one of my friends likes to say, why do

289
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: you watch baseball? You play one hundred and sixty two games. Yeah,

290
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: reminds me of a caller we used to have. Judgmental

291
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: John from Michigan used to call me up every every

292
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: weekend and complain there's too many baseball. Well, listen, you

293
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: don't have to watch every game. Number one, number two.

294
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: Those of us that like to watch shit most of

295
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: the games, check them out, scan them. We enjoy it.

296
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 4: So stay in your lane.

297
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: Anyway, In Milwaukee, a Mattine Jackson Churio singling home the

298
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: winning run. The Brewers came back to tie it late,

299
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: they win it in the tenth inning, and the brew

300
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 1: crew get the win over La three to two, and

301
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: they complete the first ever home sweep of the Dodgers

302
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: in franchise history. Holy Bernie Brewer Batman Race the Sausages

303
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: so Milwaukee. The only other times they swept the Dodgers.

304
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: You gotta go back to the year twenty seventeen in

305
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: August of that year, and then back in twenty twelve

306
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: as well. But the better story here, the better story

307
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: is that's right, you pay attention. Good job by you.

308
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: So the better story is in the losing locker room,

309
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: the NL West leading.

310
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 4: They still lead the NLS.

311
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: The Doyer have lost not one, not two, not three,

312
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: not four, not five, six consecutive baseball games. So let

313
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: us discuss the formerly known Big Blue wrecking crew with

314
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: all these losses getting swept by the Brewers. So what

315
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: do you make of the current state of the Dodgers.

316
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this, I've got Ouiji board, Jeff Bezos,

317
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: and family feud, and we will combine all of these

318
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make some peanut eminem's,

319
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: which I think have more power at this point, more

320
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: crunch than the current Dodger lineup. So my first thought

321
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: on this, the word that pops in my head, the

322
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: current state of the Dodgers is the D word disheartening.

323
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: Now we have a mantra and it's been the mantoe

324
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: we've had for many, many years around these parts that

325
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: we don't worry about too far into the future or

326
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: too far into the past.

327
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 4: We have to worry about today. Right.

328
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: We are assigned by the powers at this multi million

329
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: dollar business that we work at to talk about what's

330
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: going on today. We have to worry about today. So today,

331
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: as I talk to you one on one, me to

332
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: you the Dodgers are a sad sack operation, and I

333
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: realize they are the reigning champions of baseball. However, Dave

334
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: Roberts gives me no confidence and I'm gonna die on

335
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: that mountain.

336
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 4: Like the team this week has.

337
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: Been crumbling, and Dave Roberts, you watch him there standing

338
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: in the dugout and it's like his mind is wandering,

339
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: like he's trying to remember. And they showed him in

340
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: the dugout. It looks like he's like, maybe I left

341
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: the oven on in my home before I left on

342
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: the road trip.

343
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 4: You know, It's like, maybe I should I call somebody.

344
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 4: I think the oven's on in my kitchen. I don't

345
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 4: know what it's like.

346
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 1: He's got that look and and then you watch him

347
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: later in the game and it's like he's he's doing

348
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: a wine tasting at awake. With the the Dodgers offense

349
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: and the team, I mean, in this moment, they are

350
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: spiraling into the alligator death role against the cheating astros

351
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: who then got swept by Cleve What frauds the A

352
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: holes are, right, I mean, of course you get up

353
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, brought those trash cans out for the Dodgers,

354
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: and he played the Cleveland Guardians and got swept.

355
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: How embarrassing. Anyway, it's a by the Dodgers.

356
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: So they got smashed by the cheating a holes and

357
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: now the Brewers. So it's one of these things. We

358
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: step right up again. It's like the state Fair. You

359
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: win a stuffed animal, beat the Dodgers. Right now this

360
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: week everyone is drowning and shredding the Dodgers and the

361
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: smaller bite sized pieces. Now it's moments like these when

362
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: I see Dave Roberts in the dugout that I long

363
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: for the good old days. I need a Wigi board.

364
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: I need a Wigi board to someone that I knew

365
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. We weren't friends, but he knew who

366
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: I was, and we chatted when we ran into each other.

367
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: The sweets spirit of the late great Tommy Lasorda.

368
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 4: Oh man, what are you doing?

369
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: Just bear with me, Lasorda, if he was managing a team,

370
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: he never had a team as talented as this current

371
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: Dodger team. But if Asorta was managing a team, this good, right,

372
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: and he watched a week of baseball like this. If

373
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: he were around to have witnessed the malaise of this

374
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: baseball team, he would have already thrown a fit volcanic.

375
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: They would have gotten FEMA involved because of what Lasorda

376
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: was doing. You would have had the media meltdown. My

377
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: opinion the king was of performance, my opinion of the bullpens.

378
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: What do you think my opinion is doing that and sucked?

379
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: And it's just it's great. So he would he would coach.

380
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: Lasorda would coach like third base, right, we gotta fire

381
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: the team up, go third base. He'd take a gatorade cooler,

382
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: toss it down like he was spiking football, give a

383
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: speech that that would make Vince Lombardi, you know, just

384
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: you know shaking in the boots or in this case,

385
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: the grave. But Dave Roberts, on the other hand, he

386
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: has the aura of a guy trapped in a medically

387
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: induced coma. When you watch and certain guys have just

388
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: stopped hitting Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts for the last

389
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: really not just the last six games. Prior to that,

390
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: they've not performed the big bullpen pickups the Dodgers got.

391
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 4: They spent a lot of money on Tanner Scott.

392
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: All the Nerds had their paints down for Tanner Scott,

393
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: Kirby Yates, and these guys me god Arson squad. Tanner

394
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: Scott leads baseball with six blown saves. That was their

395
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: big addition to the bullpen. Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates.

396
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: Everyone talks about how great his stuff is.

397
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 4: And I watch it.

398
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, he looks like it's an Italian restaurant.

399
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: There's a lot of meatballs there. No, I do realize

400
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: that in the big picture, the wide angle lens, the

401
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: famous quote from Lou Holtz that you're never as good

402
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: as everyone tells you you are when you win, You're

403
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: never as bad as they say when you lose. I

404
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: get all that but we have to worry about today, right.

405
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people and I get this.

406
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: You know, people like the Dodgers listen to the show.

407
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: We're on the Dodger flagship in LA. That's our our

408
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: flagship on Fox Sports Radio. So we have a lot

409
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: of Dodger fans that listen to the show and Dodger

410
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: fans around the country. And they always push back against me.

411
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: They say, well, you're too emotional, right, And these people

412
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: just assume the Dodgers are going to flip the switch

413
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: because they have so much talent, And is that how

414
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: it works? Is I always thought baseball it's not the

415
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: most talented team that wins. And at the moment, to me,

416
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: that's hard to swallow. I mean, in a week from now,

417
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: when seven games in a row or something that we

418
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: can we visited, but I realize that when you get

419
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,239
Speaker 1: to October, all that matters is who does better in

420
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: the moment. I understand that I've preached about that for

421
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: a long time. But in this particular chapter, the Dodgers

422
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: find themselves in a deep dark place and someone needs

423
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: to Maybe Dave Roberts can hire someone to hand the

424
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: players a torch and a map, Maybe just a well

425
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: not a torch, how about an LED flashlight with one

426
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: thousand lumins in bright reliable illumination and then like a

427
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: map and then there maybe GPS on the phone.

428
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 4: Just get him out of there, Just get him out

429
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 4: of it.

00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: of housing for everyone?

450
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 3: Well? That's it. You know, they can't build taft enough

451
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 3: and all these people have moved here for his You

452
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: know Panasonic.

453
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 4: I don't know about that.

454
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: I actually have some friends that moved to Reno because

455
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: of they want to get out of California.

456
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 3: So they're like, well and that too, let me no, no, yeah,

457
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 3: because you know everybody's getting the chaft there with the taxes,

458
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: so yeah.

459
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 4: Everybody exactly.

460
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: But and then eventually Nevada is going to have the

461
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: same tax problem California, so they're going to move somewhere

462
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: else and go keep moving to different states and all. Anyway,

463
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: that's a different conversation.

464
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 4: Corea. Who do you want to partner with? You got

465
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,040

466
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: Well, I think you just picked the choice and didn't.

467
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:49,640
